Chapter 3

The M.O.I.A

Written By: SmilingDolphins

Delphin drove past the large reflecting pool in front of the M.O.I.A and turned into the compound's garage. He had just dropped Pulchra off at The Walk, as to not raise too much suspicion as to why they might be in the same car together. Most mammals thought they were just good friends, and it was a simple carpool. They didn't realize that they left the same house. It had been a month since Delphin had returned to the ocean. It had been 3 weeks since he arrived in ocean city to begin his work for the M.O.I.A. So far, he had yet to receive a mission and had mostly been doing busywork. Delphin shut off the car and began the long walk to the main building. After 10 minutes of a steady pace, he finally entered the huge lobby. Katie, the super sweet great white shark receptionist, smiled at him when he came in, her fangs gleaming. Most ocean mammals were put off by sharks, but Delphin, of course, never cared a lick about species...just personality.

"Hi, Agent Delphin!" She said cheerfully. "How are you today?"

"Good Katie. How about you?" He leaned on the counter, looking up at the large shark. Katie's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Oh, I'm fine. I went on a date last night so I'm feeling a little...jittery." She said. Delphin grinned.

"Oh really? So, who's the lucky great white?" Katie blushed even more.

"Delphin, you can keep a secret, right?" Delphin's brows furrowed.

"Of course. Why?"

"Well, he's not...he's not a great white."

Delphin's eyes widened.

"Are you serious? What is he?" He asked. Katie avoided his eyes.

"He's a...bull shark."

"Katie, that's wonderful!" The shark looked at him warily.

"But we're different species!"

Delphin looked around. The lobby was mostly empty, and no one was close enough to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Katie, can I tell you a secret?"

The shark nodded.

"You can trust me Delphin."

Delphin leaned forward and whispered.

"Pulchra is my fiance."

Now it was Katie's turn for her eyes to widen. She was so surprised, she nearly fell out of her chair.

"Are you serious! No way! You're joking right?"

Delphin shook his head.

"Nope. 100% honest. So, forget about species, okay? As long as you like his personality, that's all that should matter. See you around, Katie."

Delphin walked away, leaving the shark dumbfounded. But his words did not fall on deaf ears. Katie took out her phone and pulled up the bull shark's number. His name was Damien.

K:2nd date? Maybe tomorrow night?

She sent the text, and almost immediately received a reply.

D: Sure!

Katie smiled and slipped her phone back into her pocket.

Delphin walked into his office only to be greeted with a message requesting him up on floor 3. Delhi smiled, as Floor 3 was where mission briefing and control were. He set down his things and made his way to the elevator. When he reached Floor 3, he walked to the room he had been directed to and stepped inside.

The Director himself was standing in front of a large TV screen. The current Director was a Rough Toothed Dolphin. His skin was in multiple shades of gray. He was slightly shorter than Delphin but almost as muscular. He was dressed in a dapper white suit, which contrasted well with his dark skin.

"Ah, Delphin! Good to see you. I must say, it's an honor. I always looked up to your father." The director said, shaking Delphin's hand.

"Likewise, Director Grayskale," Delphin replied. The dark dolphin gestured to one of two seats at a table in the middle of the room. Delphin sat down, as did Grayskale.

"As I'm sure you know, you have been brought here for your first...official...assignment. I have a lot of faith in you, and I'm sure you can handle this, even with its high danger level. You are certainly a special case of an agent. But, this is a very serious matter we have to discuss."

Grayskale pulled a remote and pressed a button. The TV screen flickered on, and Delphin almost threw up.

The screen was showing an image, and it was gruesome. Nevertheless, Delphin forced himself to look at the image. The image consisted of a wall, marching off the screen in every direction except down. On the ground around the wall. Multiple naked mammals of multiple species and genders had been strewn about. Some of them looked intact, their eyes wide in a death stare. Others...others were dismembered. On the wall, written in red paint(Delphin knew the chances of it being red paint was highly unlikely, but he refused to think of it as anything else), was a symbol. A large circle surrounded a paw, which Delphin identified as a lion's. Under the symbol, words were written.

"The Black Lion shall save us."

Delphin felt a cold feeling run down his back. He turned to Grayskale.

"What is the assignment?" He asked. Grayskale's eyes studied him intently.

"This image was taken 2 weeks ago. We have found multiple more messages like it. 90% of them have been in the Middle East, but some have been in the Mammaliterrenian."

Grayskale handed him a large manilla file. Delphin opened it and read the details of the mission. It took him a good long while. When he was finished, he looked back up at the Director.

"I can do it."

Delphin maneuvered the small yacht to the rendezvous point. He lowered the anchor and climbed down the ladder to the main deck. Inside the ship, 3 female agents, along with two male"bodyguards", sat on the couch. Delphin walked inside and sat down across from them.

"Alright, ladies. This is it. Remember, you have your hidden tasers. They won't do a single thing to you." The 3 ladies nodded. Delphin had directed the words to all of them, but he was looking intently at the orca sitting on the far right of the couch. When she caught his gaze, she gave a quick glare, and he snapped out of it. Suddenly, a horn sounded and Delphin jumped up.

"Okay, guys. Let's do this." He said. Delphin pulled out a pair of sunglasses and put them on. The rims flashed as they hit the sunlight. He found the wooden cane with the metal dolphin tail at the top and leaned on it. He put on a fedora that matched his white suit, with black stripes running around it. He turned to his fellow agents and tried out his accent.

"Zeese are very fine women. Top of ze line! I'm sure zey vill meet your standards."

Delphin had completely changed from his normal self to a disgusting, sleazy, pimp. Sitting next to the orca was a female otter. On the far left was a female dolphin. The two bodyguards were orcas, submachine guns held in their grips, and armor on their bodies. Delphin gave a quick look of encouragement at the orca, then stepped out of the cabin back onto the deck. Another small yacht, slightly bigger than their own, pulled up next to them. Delphin immediately counted 3 dolphin bulls. Hopefully, there weren't more below. A White Beaked Dolphin jumped the gap and landed on their boat. His two buddies, both Clymene Dolphins, followed.

"You have the girls?" The white beak asked in a rough voice. Delphin flashed a winning smile and gestured to the cabin.

"But of course. Zeese are very fine women. I'm sure zey vill perform vell for you, eh?"

Delphin led them to the cabin. The girls had removed their outer clothing, leaving only their underwear and bras, and were standing in a line. The white beak began to inspect them. When he got to the orca, he grinned.

"I would like to take this one for a...test drive, if you get what I mean."

Delphin kept his composure.

"Of course. Zere is a free vroom down ze hall, on ze left. I hope you find her to your liking."

The white beak grabbed the orca by the wrist and dragged her down the hall. As soon as the door shut, Delphin turned to the guards the white beak had brought with him.

"Now." He said in his normal voice. The two orca agents, who had crept up behind the clymenes, hit them with the butt of their guns, knocking them to the floor. Just a second later, a scream came from the bedroom. Delphin whirled around and rushed down the narrow hallway, bursting into the room. Pulchra was leaning over the white beak, and in her hand was a taser that looked like a lipstick applier. She had the button pressed down hard, and was holding it against the white beak's neck, causing him to scream in pain. He passed out in seconds, and Pulchra jumped off of him.

Before their fellow agents came to check on them, Delphin checked Pulchra for any injuries.

"He didn't do anything, right?" He asked. Pulchra shook her head.

"Nope. Never even had a chance to touch me." Delphin nodded and retreated from being so close to her just as one of the orcas entered the room.

"Everything okay?" He asked. Delphin nodded and he and Pulchra walked out of the room. The two Clymene guards were already tied up, and the orcas picked up th white beak and tied him too. They went aboard the other vessel and reported no other mammals. Delphin started up the boat and began to drive away.

When Delphin and Pulchra returned home that night, they immediately crashed on the couch. Pulchra cuddled up with Delphin as he turned on the TV. Their current dwelling was a simple 1 story farmhouse, in the Elevated District of Ocean City, but it served its purpose. Delphin began to absentmindedly stroke Pulchra's hair.

"You were amazing today, love." He said. "You promise that white beak didn't do anything?"

"If any bull except you touches me, you know that they'll pay for it." She said. Delphin laughed, thinking back to the expression of surprise on the white beak's face while Pulchra was tazeing the crap out of him.

"I can't wait to make you mine." He whispered lightly in the orca's ear. "All mine!"

Delphin suddenly grabbed Pulchra around the waist and began to tickle her.

"Delphin, no! Stop! Delphin! No! Delphin, let me go! Stop it!" Pulchra squealed through fits of giggles. Delphin laughed as he continued to tickle her. Pulchra wiggled and squirmed under his fingers. Then, she suddenly launched a counter strike and brought her hands up to tickle him as well. Delphin was even more ticklish than she was, and he immediately stopped his onslaught. Delphin clicked and whistled as Puclhra mercilessly tickled him.

"Okay! Okay! I give! You win! I name you the Tickle Queen!" He finally shouted. Pulchra stopped, grinning. Delphin was now on his back, laying across the couch. Pulchra climbed forward and opened up his button-up shirt before laying down his chest, his chin right above her head. She felt his arms and tail wrap around her and hug her to his muscular chest. Her fingers traced his solid muscles. Delphin's head was turned towards the TV, where the news was covering some story about a petty thief who was famous for breaking into houses, stealing valuables, and, for some strange reason, smashing at least one toilet in every house. They were calling him "The Toilet Smasher. Before Pulchra knew it, the soft droning of the TV and the warmth of Delphin's body had her feeling drowsy, and just like that, she was asleep.

"Sir, Eli hasn't returned yet."

"What was that idiot doing again?"

"Said he was going to buy some girls. But, you know how he is. Probably trying fuck their brains out before he even gets back."

"If he doesn't return within 12 hours, send out a search party. I'm tired of that idiotic dolphin and his sexual pursuits."

"As you wish, Lord Dagger."
